There were 44206 eviction filings and 8961 evictions across Brooklyn in 2016. Eviction rates and eviction filing rates represent the number of evictions or eviction filings per neighborhood divided by the number of renter occupied households in a given neighborhood - that value is then multipled by 100 to represent a percentage.





To further compare eviction rates and filing discrepancies with neighborhood poverty rates and racial composition, we looked at the 10 neighborhoods with the highest rates of poverty, percent nonwhite population, eviction rate, and discrepancy between eviction rate and filing rate. Five neighborhoods appear in all four charts (in red).
